The AllMusic review by Eugene Chadbourne stated that "the tracks basically having the flatness and relative lack of detail of the album's cover illustration. These performances have a lingering quality, however, certain moments eventually acquiring magic like illuminations, even though it is all mere residue under the fingers of players who seemingly can create beauty in their sleep."[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz said "Their interplay in the most demanding of improvisational settings is intuitive and perfectly weighted".[4]
